If Northstar could get their hands on some quality used or leased B9TL / E400MMC (although only a short term solution to test the waters), they could cause serious trouble to GNE!
Even an hourly 604 (with additional peak journeys) could give some competition with the 10/10A/10B/12 on the Tyne Valley corridor.
Give it a rest man
